“Cancer” means a sickness characterized by an abnormal proliferation of cells which grow in an uncontrolled manner, exhibit invasiveness, and tend to spread to other normal tissues. The cancer can be classified as carcinoma, malignant carcinoid, sarcoma, leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, lymphoma, or other malignant tumor. It can also include the malignant transformation of a previously benign tumor. It does not include pre-cancerous conditions such as leukoplakia, hyperplasia, polycythemia, benign moles, or similar lesions.

“Heart attack” (myocardial infarction), includes ST elevation, non-ST elevation, Q wave and non-Q wave presentations) means the death of a portion of the heart muscle, resulting from blockage of one or more coronary arteries. In order to be covered under this policy, the diagnosis of heart attack (myocardial infarction) must be based upon a clinical setting consistent with such diagnosis and either: (a) new electrocardiographic changes consistent with and supporting a clinical diagnosis of heart attack (myocardial infarction); or (b) a concurrent diagnostic elevation of cardiac biomarkers.

Strokes means a cerebrovascular accident or infarction (death) of brain tissue caused by hemorrhage, embolism, or thrombosis producing measurable, neurological deficit persisting for at least two days following the occurrence of the stroke. Stroke does not include Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) or other cerebral vascular events.
